wouldn’t hurt time look here either:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/mar...icles/lexus-75

along with car gurus I would hunt these sites multiple times daily for the last year, and I still check them daily even though I found mine in December. I miss the old KBB site, they used to show number of owners, accidents, and some other stuff on every car regardless of if they had full reports available or not. Was very helpful.
Thank you!! I actually check all these website everyday, even a couple time a day just so I don’t miss out.

I ran the service history on it, valley plate leak was noted and diagnosed around 74k miles and is also noted that customer declined service/repairs. So it's likely that it has still not been done. You can view the full service history and details for yourself if you go to drivers.lexus.com, make an account, and enter the VIN. So unless you can get receipt or proof that it may have been done by an independent shop, I would avoid for the price that they're asking.

WOW THANK YOU!!! This is very helpful, I did some research on dealer scams so I can get rid of hidden fees and bring this problem up to them. What do you think would be a fair price to ask for, assuming that they never fixed the leak?

It was $1,900 to fix my valley plate at Lexus of Thousand Oaks. Fortunately I had an extended warranty,

If you really want the car you can try to negotiate the cost of the valley plate from the asking price.

But I say go elsewhere...I was about to sell my car until I had a change of heart

Any chance you want a white one? did a quick look at Lexus drivers and valley plate was sealed 9/17/2016. At a quick glance this seems decent. Of course there’s no pics yet.

this just popped up
